What We Speak
There are times when we all may feel that our lives are too overwhelming. In fact, there may be events or circumstances in our lives that are more challenging than we are equipped to handle. In those moments it is good for us to remember that that does not take our God by surprise. He built this place and He built us. He is well aware of what it takes for us to make it. And He is ever present to assist us to make certain that we do make it.
Psalms 121:1 I will lift up mine eyes unto the hills, from whence cometh my help.
2 My help cometh from the Lord, which made heaven and earth.
3 He will not suffer thy foot to be moved: he that keepeth thee will not slumber.
4 Behold, he that keepeth Israel shall neither slumber nor sleep.
5 The Lord is thy keeper: the Lord is thy shade upon thy right hand.
6 The sun shall not smite thee by day, nor the moon by night.
7 The Lord shall preserve thee from all evil: he shall preserve thy soul.
8 The Lord shall preserve thy going out and thy coming in from this time forth, and even for evermore.
Our God does not rest from watching over us. We can go to bed, wake up, and go through our day knowing that we have God watching over us and keeping us from all evil. We are encouraged to say these things out loud that we might hear them and be comforted.
Romans 10:6 But the righteousness which is of faith speaketh on this wise, Say not in thine heart, Who shall ascend into heaven? (that is, to bring Christ down from above:)
7 Or, Who shall descend into the deep? (that is, to bring up Christ again from the dead.)
8 But what saith it? The word is nigh thee, even in thy mouth, and in thy heart: that is, the word of faith, which we preach;
9 That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved.
10 For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation.
In all this we can take great comfort.
Prayer
Father, we exalt You. You alone are worthy of all praise and Glory. We love You and long for You to send Your kingdom to this earth. We long to do Your will. Send us today overwhelming provision. Forgive us when we err, and help us as we forgive those that have treated us badly. Help them to know You. Heal us and deliver us. In Yeshua’s (Jesus’) name. Amen.
